Sad day around here
Hello,
We have been dreading this day. Our beloved dog Brandy has been not getting around well for some time. This past couple of weeks has been really hard to watch her struggle to get around. Her health has gotten worse all week. So many health problems and to be expected at her old age. Brandy has been a great dog. We adopted her about 11 years ago and she bonded with us instantly. She has always protected us. She barked, every time the doorbell rang and would greet everyone. At first you were to pass her inspection and if you passed she would lie on her back to get her belly rubbed. Silly girl. She loved to go for car rides, which looking back she may have liked a few more trips. Would play with our cats but was sure to keep the neighbors out of the yard. She would follow me around, come into my office and stay by me. Sit at and sometimes on my feet when I would work on the computer. Always looking for a handout at the dinner table. Loved to take a walk around the block, even tried so hard to walk a couple of weeks ago. She would get so excited you could hardly get her leash on her collar.
When I came home this past week from work I could tell her time had come to an end. I gathered the kids around and each took time to say their good-byes to Brandy. Kevin and Liz helped me take Brandy to the shelter where we adopted her to put her to rest. Saying good-bye to a family pet is so very hard. She will be missed by us all.
Love you Brandy girl. Blessings

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Hello,
Are you wearing your GREEN today? I thought about it yesterday and knew what I was going to wear. But this morning I was in a rush and grabbed the first thing I found and it is not green. So much for honoring the Irish in me.
Save a little green on me. Place a Stampin' Up! order with me directly and save 10% off your product total. This offer will expire on March 24th.
Sale-A-Bration ends on March 30th so you can still take advantage of getting a FREE gift with every $50.00 you spend. Check out the Sale-A-Bration catalog on the left of the screen.
With this kind of a deal how can you not do a little Irish Jig.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
Blessings, Diane

I had so much fun creating this project. I used the Pinecone Press purse blank and turned it into a Giant Cupcake Tag Photo Album. Isn't this just the cutest project to make to show off your birthday photos. The paper also comes in blues if you prefer. Check out the video Kevin and I made for work to so see how it turned out. Please feel free to leave comments and let me know what you think.

Tri-Fold 6 x 6 Cards Video
Hello,
Kevin and I have been having a great day making videos. Here is another one to share with you all. This isn't as easy as I thought. I had no script, no practice run through. We set up the stuff and Kevin started shooting. I had think off the top of my head what I was going to say as I picked up each card. It's quite obvious by my pauses. You can purchase kits for these cards. There is a link on the right hand side of your screen. Please feel free to leave comments.

Get on Board the Love Train! Whooo! Whooo!
Hello,
I had so much fun creating this LOVE train to fill with sweets. I took the Easter train blank from Pinecone Press and turned it into a Valentine train. The blank has a half circle attached on the side of the train so it makes it easy for you to attach the hearts.
The hearts were cut out with a Sizzix die. The paper and LOVE message is from our new "Love You" paper line.
Cut strips of paper 1-1/8" X 12". Wrap strip around box and crease along the corners. Adhere paper to box.
To attach the trains together,I cut a piece of chipboard 1/2" by about 5" in length. I covered it with red cardstock. Attach this strip to the bottom of the train with red line tape. Punch a small hole through end of this strip and attach two trains with a brad.
The wheels are decorated with cardstock and a brad attached for decoration. Glue the wheels to the box train as shown.
The engine is a milk carton box pattern. Click Here for pattern.
Don't forget to fill train cars with some yummy candy for your sweetheart.
Let me know what you think.
